Usage
AutoRunByValue:<value(string)>,<directory(string)>[,advanced file parameters]
Examples
AutoRunByValue:"Spyware","Spyware"
This would detect the following entry inside the registry, and will add both the registry value and the directory Spyware to the results list.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Spyware"="C:\\Program files\\Spyware\\spyware.exe"
Description
This command is only to be used in rare cases where the autorun entry might be the only lead to a totally random directory name. It detects a Run value, much like AutoRun, and also an associated directory.
- The first parameter describes the value to find. Algo-Prefixes are supported only here. AP
- The second parameter means an additional folder that might get flagged if the run entry points to a file inside a folder of that name. You may also keep this directory parameter empty, but you may not obmit it. Use the wildcard * (with care) to flag any folder that belongs to identified entries.
- You may specify advanced file parameters to limit detection in case of ambigious value names (which nearly all are, so make use of this)!
Scan Results
- Any entries in the supported locations that are identified by value and optional parameters.
- The files associated with the entries, if they were found.
- The directory specified in the second parameter.
